I had my baby just over a week ago and narrowed two down

Henry DH great grandad heard he was a lovely man and do have a good friend called this.

Albert- does not have any family connections just really like it.

Do you think he looks more like a name?

Little brother for Wilfred

I chose Albert, and like the nicknames Albie and Bertie.

Gorgeous boy. And I love the name Wilfred too. I can see why you are considering Albert - as it’s retro like Wilfred. But as a name Henry sounds so much nicer imo. And he can always use old Shakespearean style nn Hal instead of popular Harry - Wilf and Hal sound like a really cool pair 😎 .

what a perfectly gorgeous baby. Congratulations. I voted Henry Albert because I prefer Henry to Albert but he's not my baby, he's yours so it doesn't really matter. Albie is very very cute as a nn.

Congratulations, he's lovely. He could easily suit both so I just voted for my favourite - Henry.

TheChosenTwo · 06/05/2024 21:16

I taught the most delightful boy named Henry, that gets my vote!
Congratulations, he’s very cute 🥰

He is gorgeous, congratulations! I'd lean to Henry and even better with dh's relative but love both choices , you can't go wrong.

Definitely an Albert! Congratulations Flowers

Congratulations - he looks like an Albert.

Congratulations! What an adorable babe. I voted Albert Henry.

Savoretti · 06/05/2024 21:09

Albert would be shortened to Albie
which (round here) is really popular

TribeofFfive · 06/05/2024 21:06

He’s beautiful, congratulations OP.

He looks like a Henry to me. Henry Albert is a brilliant name.

Albie Blush

Nonamenoplacetogo · 06/05/2024 21:04

He looks like an Albert to me, Albert Henry. Albeit is a cute nickname
Congratulations he's a beaut!

Am805463 · 06/05/2024 21:01

And congratulations! He is lovely 😊

Am805463 · 06/05/2024 21:00

I think Albert sounds nice with Wilfred.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 06/05/2024 21:00

Oh he’s an absolute dream boat. He’s definitely an Albert.

LovelyBitOfSquirrrel · 06/05/2024 20:58

Congratulations he is beautiful. I prefer the flow of Henry Albert

Withswitch · 06/05/2024 20:57

There's a danger he will be Harry Albie which doesn't sound great.
